It just occurred to me that at least once, and possibly twice, over the past few years, I read that cutting Wellbutrin, thereby exposing it to air, can hasten its deterioration. I don't know whether that means it actually goes bad or whether it just loses its potency faster. Also, I'm pretty certain that what I read was in reference to the older, immediate release Wellbutrin and may not have anything to do with the sustained release versions. I've also heard widely varying comments on what cutting sustained release Wellbutrin does to the time release mechanism. Some say that cutting it turns it into immediate release, and others say that it remains sustained release. Please check with your doctor about this. From reading your posts, it looks as if your doctor is very attentive and responsive, so please discuss the Wellbutrin + amphetamine combination with him. Oh, and one more thing -- the dxm you are taking is also a 2D6 substrate. You'll be taking a lot of medications that require the same enzyme for metabolism. If you have a healthy, robust version of 2D6, that may not pose a problem.
